I found this old photo recently and thought it was quite charming. It was all torn up when I acquired it, but I managed to get it fixed up with the photo editing program that I use. This lovely young lady is wearing such a fancy dress, off to a party perhaps? Check out all of those ruffles and the big bow in her hair!
I love the playing cards and like to use those as earring cards in our little shop! I just reduce them by 50% and customers always take a second look! I have a question about the girl in her party dress..can I use her for our 1 year anniversary invites? I just love her…thanks!
